"I understand the gravity of the tensions with NATO, but invasion of a sovereign country is just simply too far."

What other options are there? Imagine you are the president of a superpower. Another superpower is expanding its military presence towards you. When you express your concerns through diplomatic channels, you are repeatedly told "don't care, didn't ask, open doors policy, anyone can join our alliance (except you)" (I am not even interested in arguing whether this really happened in 2021-2022, consider this a hypothetical). At what point would you consider initiating a war? Or are you of the opinion that you can only deploy troops when you are attacked?

As for Georgia/Abkhazia and such, this is a very old conflict. Even before USSR dissolved Abkhazia tried to separate itself from Georgia (while staying a part of USSR). It will never cease to amuse me that it is considered to be absolutely okay for Georgia to separate itself from USSR, but absolutely not okay for Abkhazia to then separate itself from Georgia...

"Tried"?

Stalin offered to exchange some territories, Finland refused, USSR invaded, USSR suffered heavy losses, USSR won, Finland lost more territories than Stalin originally asked to trade for, and then Finland allied with Hitler to get their revenge.

And then "USSR suffered heavy losses in Finland" became a meme.

I think that calling for genocide of a nation you are losing a war to in unrelated media is not a good way to rally support for your cause, but you do you... And as a personal anecdote, I personally know at least 5 russians who were very pro-Ukraine in 2022 and no longer are because of shit like this.

It is not any more autonomous than any other region of Russia and does not have its own army.

If anyone's interested, that's false. Deafness, schizophrenia and other such conditions are not listed in the document which Nexta writes about because this is a list of conditions which prohibit signing up contracts with people that were deemed "fit to serve with limitations". Deafness, schizophrenia are examples of conditions which stop a person from being classified "fit to serve with limitations" in the first place. As another example, the document specifically states "epilepsy, with less than 5 seizures per year", because having more than 5 seizures per year already makes you unfit automatically.

And also the document has nothing to do with who can get conscripted and sent to the frontlines, it only changes which conditions prohibit a person from signing up voluntarily.
